Practice speaking on the phone with me, Emma! Do you know how to speak on the phone? Do you feel nervous talking on the phone? In this survival English video, I teach you common expressions to use on a phone call. By learning these expressions, your telephone conversations will become clearer and you will understand more. You can practice these expressions by taking our quiz.

Very good i like it. Thank you it was the most difficult for me that when i speak by phone with somebody i always confuse. But now i learned what to say. Please make part 3 is well that that 3 should include the main part of the conversation . I think main part is difficult for everybody than how to say hello and goodbye. Thank you for your attention

In Portuguese we have a generic name we call “Fulano”. Is there such a word in English?

That’s a really good question! As a proper noun, we use “John Smith” or “John/Jane Doe”. Wiktionary tells me that fulano is also equivalent to the English “what’s-his/her-name”, which can be used when you don’t know or remember someone’s name, or to refer to a generic person.

Allright! I got a perfect score!. And i finally watched this video, because recently i have watched the other video. Which is “how to end an phone call”. Thanks emma this is a very useful less9n 9f yours. Have a nice day.

great Emma,i felt scared when i answered the phone, now i know some expressions to deal with that although a litte nervous at beginning but i think i get though it soon anyway.And sometimes i see it depends on situation and stuff like status’caller,age,gender…anyway thanks for everything,All best to you.
